## Abstract The activities of ornithine decarboxylase and Sβadenosylmethionine decarboxylase, two key enzymes in polyamine metabolism, were determined during the first 10 days of imaginal life in the nervous tissue and the fat body of the adult cricket __Acheta domesticus.__ The kinetic constants o

Primary cultures of cells dissociated from embryonic mouse brain were demonstrated to be a useful system for studying cell proliferation and its regulation. Ornithine decarboxylase activity was closely correlated with the rate of DNA and RNA synthesis during cell growth. suggesting that the enzyme i
The effect of topical application of PGE on induction of ODC in mouse epidermis was measured. When direct induction of ODC by TPA was blocked by also applying indomethacin, maximum ODC activity occurred only when PGE was applied simultaneously with TPA 4% hr before killing of the mice. If either TPA
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and differential polyamine composition have been studied in macroscopically normal mucosa, adjacent mucosa, and neoplastic tissue of 95 patients with adenocarcinomas of stomach and large intestine. In tumors, we found increased ODC activity and polyamine conten
## Abstract Interpretation of biochemical measurements in the human brain after death is complicated by a variety of premortem, perimortem, and postmortem factors. The activity of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) in particular has been found to vary considerably among human brains. In contrast to
In an effort to understand molecular mechanisms by which nerve growth factor (NGF) regulates gene expression, we have isolated a full-length rat cDNA clone encoding ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and utilized this probe to identify and examine the transcriptionally active, NGF inducible ODC gene in r
